The story of the recovery that hasn’t happened in Haiti is at last partially a tale of the money the developed world said it would give, but didn’t. In the immediate aftermath of last year’s earthquake there was a worldwide outpouring of support. Individuals promised to give what they could, and the international community promised to "build back better" to the tune of $5.3 billion — $1.5 of which was promised by the United States, according to Isabel MacDonald at The Nation. So far, only a fraction of that money — $1.28 billion — has actually been disbursed, and there’s proof that even that relatively meager sum isn’t being spent well.
